The students’ union building 
project will move toward comple- 
tion under the en Aa of a new 
student plann 

Ed Enea sci 3, has been ap- 
pointed chairman of the students’ 
union planning commission, suc- 
ceeding Andy Brook who took over 
in 1964 and guided substantial re- 
visions of the project before tend- 
ering in November. 

‘ae will be responsible for 

uring the building is constructed 
Foording to plans and he will in- 
itiate several a projects con- 
nected with the SUB. 

One veal acy new project will 
_be the raising of money by fund- 
drives to re-insert such shines as 
the outside mural, a permanent 
painting collection, and sculpture. 
These parts of the structure were 
deleted earlier to cut costs when 
building tenders were higher than 
expected. 

Monsma is planning a public- 
Ttelations campaign to inform ere - 
sible contributors about the histo 
facilities, and needs of the building, 

ormation brochure will be 
published for mailing purposes to 
Supplement personal contacts and 
appeals. 

Other areas of commission re- 
Sponsibility include purchase of 
Special equipment, selection of fur- 

hiture, extent of students’ union 
control of non-students’ union 
areas, new xeatouehipe between 
the program board and the policy 
of operations board, and the com- 


Piling of a comprehensive SUB his- 
tory.

full potential.”

too high but we have to be ready 
for such changes, he

Social change 


must precede 


universal education - Riddell 


Social change is essential before 
universal education in Canada is 
possible, John Riddell told U of A 
students Thursday. 

The left-wing editor of “Young 
Socialist Forum” discussed John 
Porter’s “Vertical Mosaic” with 
students. Riddell claims Porter’s 
book reveals a few company direct- 
ors form an elite in Canadian econ- 
omy. 

This unequal concentration of 
wealth and economic power 
Canada leads to a vast inequality of 
opportunities. The elite group has 
much 2 See edt icy ae at-

Riddell Baie the political elite 
is dependent upon the economic 
elite. He pointed out the continual 
juggling of positions between the 
members of the economic and poli- 


ity 
Gases 


tical elites. 


\ 


The economy is run entirely by 


the profit motives therefore me 
working class gains very little by 
increasing economic wealth of Can- 
ada, he says. 

“There is monstrous dictatorship 
of the owners over the wor Pee in 
the economy,” says Riddell. He em-

Riddell claims unions are the 
arenas where necessary radicaliza- 
tion will take place. He says that 
student radicalization should co- 
incide with transformation of 
trade unions into. active groups. 

Riddell stressed that radicalism 
begins in trade unions and other 
organizations to integrate the 
working people into the movement. 
The working class feels powerless 
therefore it needs instruction and 
leadership to express its demands. 

Once the people of the lower 
socio-economic class become aware 
of their social position shee will

Lack of space 
hurts library 


Needed additions to Cameron 
delayed at least two years 


By RALPH MELNYCHUK 


Urgently required expansion of Cameron Library will be 
delayed at least two years, says Chief Librarian Mr. Bruce Peel. 
Dairy Science labs now located in the North and South Labs 
cannot be vacated until the first building of the new engineer- 
ing complex is ready for occupancy, he said. 


Two proposed wings to Cameron 
Library which would double the 
present capacity would be built on 
the sites now jeecuplrd by the North 
and South L: 


“As of jee 1 the library will be 
entering the emergency phase 
spacewise,” said Mr. Peel. 


Asked about the possibility of ad- 
ditional study space in the librar- 
ies, Mr. Peel indicated the problem 
would get worse before it got bet- 
ter. 


“Sure prudent are pis a rough 
time, but so is m ff. I am ex- 
pecting tt 30 to 40 additions to 
the staff after April 1. Where would 
you put them?” he asked The Gate- 
way’s reporter. 


He ee he hoped the east en- 
trance and the periodical storage 
room could be converted to provide 
adequate office space for this year. 
RAPID EXPANSION 

The situation is aggravated by 
the rapid rate at which ex- 
panding our collection, he said. 


“Approximately 175,000 volumes 
and 25,000 documents will be added 
to the system this year,” he said. 
“This figure will probably jump to 
110,000 volumes next year.” 


One floor of Cameron Library 
will hold approximately 100,000 
volumes, he said. 


Mr. Peel hinted that indecison re- 
garding the development of gradu- 
ate programs and the status of the 
university at Calgary were signific- 
ant factors in determining the pre- 
sent size of Cameron Library 

“The y 
for the ‘ibrary we bought 15,000 
volumes. We decided that pur- 
chases would eventually level off at 
a maximum of 50,000 volumes per 
year. Imagine my surprize edie I 
discovered that in the year we 
moved in we bought 49, 000. vol- 
ee 

ameron ea ‘was opened in 
ie fall of 196 

“We had ce planned to add 
the wings to Cameron, but we 
never dreamed we would need 
them so soon,” he said. 

The only substantial addition to 
the library system this year will be 
another afer on the education lib- 
rary, he s 

Me may mes necessary in the near 

ure to re-introduce the system 
of pe stacks on a limited scale,” 
e sai 

Before Cameron was built most 
of the books were at Hurieriord in 
closed stac 

Mr. Peel Binmed the present sys- 
tem of allocating funds for the in- 
adequate collection in the Under- 
graduate Library. Many depart- 

ments are not onde sable for 


this ubeey he 


ear plans were finalised : 


Federal aid 


essential 
to research 


A substantial increase in federal 
grants for medical research is es- 
sential before future medical ser- 
vices in Canada are suitable to the 
needs of society, biaget oe to a re-

group is concerned because 
the federal government gave only 
25: million in grants—$4 million 
less than expected. 
This discourages the creation of 
an environment for medical re- 
search favorable enough to lure 


researchers back from the United ~ 


States and to keep them in Canada. 


The attraction of undergraduates - 


to medical research as a career is 
removed by the present unfavor-

THE GATEWAY, Wednesday, January 26, 1966 


Short Rhone 


Mr. R. R. Smith, Personnel Manager of the 
Bay’s Edmonton store, will be talking to grad- 
uate students, Tuesday, February 1 at the 
University of Alberta. 


“Mr. Smith, give me 10 good reasons 


why the Bay offers me a profitable 
career.” 


1. You will be well paid. Executive trainees, like all manage- 
ment personnel, enjoy salaries that are among the best in the 
industry, and are backed up by a gen 
In addition, you will soon be eligible for profit sharing, and 
you are entitled to a 10 per cent discount on virtually all per- 
sonal purchases from the day you start work. 


2. Advancement is based on merit. If you can handle a 
bigger job, it is given to you. You won't be placed on a 
Gentorite list and left there. 


3. You will be doing responsible work from the day you begin. 
We think the most effective and most interesting way to learn 
merchandising is by practicing it. 


4, Our training program is regarded as one of Canada’s best. 
A series of lectures, assignments and examinations, spread 
over your first two years with the Company, promise you an 
insight into retailing you cannot obtain elsewhere. 


5. There is lots of room at the top, and on the way to the top. 
In Edmonton alone there are about men and women in 
middle management and junior executives’ positions. Most 
of them are under 


6. You'll get a brand of experience with the Bay that is only 
available in a complex, progressive marketing organization. 
It will stand you in good stead all through your life. 


7. You will enjoy working with Bay people. They are con- 
genial and believe in teamwork. That’s something you can’t 
uy. 


8. There are a lot of interesting jobs at the Bay that don’t in- 
volve buying and selling merchandise. If you’re interested in 
personnel work, display, accounting, advertising, restaurant 
management or general administration, we may have a spot 
for you. 


9. Opportunity isn’t eee to Edmonton. The Bay, and its 
subsidiary, Henry Morgan & Co. Limited, operates laree ae 
partment stores in on t of Canada’s principal cities, and is 
involved in a lot of other businesses besides. 


10. Most important, the Bay has a good atmosphere for de- 
velopment of initiative. Here you can put your own ideas to 
work, and profit by them.

This is in keeping with ee size 
of lounges already on cam: 

However, general Grawucre of 
some students indicate students 
feel lounges are inadequate and the 
new buildings should have increas- 
ed facilities. 

General comments were that eat- 
ing facilities were inadequate and 
more space should be provided in 
both old and new buildings. 

Students also felt that facilities 
for hot lunches should be increased. 
Others felt that more space and 


+ ha should be provided in places 
like Cameron and Rutherford lib- 
aries. 


Others said they should not have 
to eat in classrooms and should 
have a place to relax especially if 
they were spending all day on cam- 
pus. 

Further comments were that the 
SUB area of campus was well sup- 
plied with eating facilities but the 
math-physics side was inadequate. 
They felt that a building the size of 
math-physics should have some 
type of lounge. 

Lounges provide an important 
intellectual role on campus since 

ey allow for contacts between 
students in an informal and com- 
fortable situation, says Gerry 
Gemser, arts 2.

A gastronomical crisis in Univer- 
sity of Toronto residences has made 
a former U of A student realize 
how well he was eating at Lister 
Hall last year 

“I always thought the meals at 
Lister were terrific, but now I 


-know they are when I see what a 


person has to take down here,” Jim 


UAB moves 


to support 
daily paper 


The University’s athletic board 
has moved to support plans for a 
daily newspaper on this campus. 

At a meeting Thursday the board 
voted in favour of a motion to write 
a letter to the editor-in-chief of 
The Gateway stating the board 
would aid e Gateway in at- 
tempts to obtain the necessary 
ecuee to print a daily news- 
pap 

The motion was made because it 
appeared that The Gateway was not 
satisfied with the plans for the 
new print shop to be built next 
year, says Fraser Smith, co-ordin- 
ator of student affairs. 

oard favours a daily paper 
because the daily would give cam- 
pus athletics more adequate cov- 


always low priority and 
it is oe ke fault of the editor,” 
said Sm 

He eae out that Students’ 
Union advertising that is not pai 

advertising often does not get into 
The ey. because of lack of 
spac 

“A daily paper could handle most 
of this advertising,” he said. 


Dube, a second year U of T law 
student told The Gateway. 

Dube was referring to a deterior- 
ating food situation which has hit 
almost every residence college at 
U of T resulting in a suggestion 
that students pay their second- 
term fees in $5 installments unless 
conditions improve. 

Last week students arrived at 
breakfast and foun 
juice. The menu now lists only 
one juice or liquid per meal. This 
means that milk OR tea OR coffee 
is served to each student. There 
has been no indication this is only 
a temporary measure, 

Last term students boycotted the 
dining hall in protest, and are now 
angry because a $50 increase in 
residence fees has brought no in- 
crease in service. According to one 
student, it didn’t even preserve the 
status quo. 

The catering company serving 
the dining hall lost about $9,000 in 
the first three months of operation 
last fall. The company receives 
$1.65 per student per day and has 
asked for an increase of Sbaut fifty 
cents. 

According to Dube, 
doesn’t seem to have as much 
money available as does U of A and 
“the shortage shows up on the food 
beh badly. 

Further action is likely if the food 
continues at its present low level, 
as even the most pacifistic indivi- 
duals are dissatisfied, Dube reports. 

U residence students also 
have complaints about the food in 
Lister Hall. Leslie Bartlett, ed 3, 
said, “I don’t mind it (the food). I 
don’t eat it. I just eat the salad 
plates because I’m on a diet.” 

jouglas Pinder, ed 4, felt that 
the fond is good, for an institution, 
but .“it can’t compare with home 
food.” Linda Deeton, ed 4, had the 
same opinion. “You get the feeling 
that everything’s warmed over, 
she said.

LES BRULES 


STUDENT CINEMA 


PRESENTS THE FRENCH-CANADIAN FILM 
“LES BRULES” (THE PROMISED LAND) 


FRIDAY, 7:00 p.m. mp 126 


In addition to the French film there will be an Eng- 
lish documentary “MADEMOISELLE BARBARA.” 


“The Promised Land” is the story of the settlement 
of the Abitibi region during the depth of the depression 
of the 1930’s. The film is based upon the novel “Nuages 
sur les Brules” by Hervé Biron. : 


This story is a moving account of the hardships and 
joys experienced by men and women in the harsh wild- 
erness of Quebec’s Northwest. 

The film begins with the movement of the ragged, 
ill-assorted band of men into the wilderness. With high 
hopes and expectations work becomes organized. 

With rough good humor various jobs are allocated. 
Homesteads begin to take shape and community life 


Then, without warning the wilderness strikes back 
in the form of fires, storms and sickness. 
consequences of broken dreams and expectations is re- 


Through the cost of extreme endurance and faith 
human dignity and hope is restored. 

This film reveals dramatic scenes of human love and 
friendship portrayed by some of French Canada’s best- 
known actors and actresses.

next month. 


These comments were made in an 
atmosphere which we find disturb- 
ing, to say the least. For example, 
Education Minister Randolph Mc- 
Kinnon last week flatly refused to 
make specifc comments regarding 
the proposed revisions. Also, Uni- 
versity President Dr. Walter H. 
Johns, himself a member of the gov- 
ernor’s committee which is propos- 
ing the act revisions, has agreed with 
Provost A. A. Ryan that student af- 
fairs received inadequate attention 
and that improvements in this area 
will be necessary. 


Furthermore, the suggestion has 
been raised that the Legislature will 
not have time to study the Act in de- 
tail, a fact which is disturbing in it- 
self when one considers some of the 
subjects covered by the legislation: 
faculty representation on the Board 
of Governors, the proposed manner 
in which University Commission and 
Board members are to be selected 
and the position of the new Univer- 
sity Commission as a buffer between 
government and the academic com- 
munity. 


Public ignorance and_ indiffer- 
ence to the proposed revisions has 
also been noteworthy. For example, 
when provincial Progressive Conserv- 
ative party leader Peter Lougheed 
was questioned about the revisions 
Friday on this campus, he admitted 
to not having read the governors’ 
report. 


In view of all the critical issues in- 
volved in revising the University Act, 
we would like to make a pecstion, 
however ridiculous it might see 

Sub-section (c) of Subsection 2 of 


Section 35 of the current Univer- 
sity Act states: — 


“The Convocation may con- 
sider all questions affecting the 


nb 


well-being of the University and 
make representations thereon 
to the Board and to the Senate.” 


Further to this, Section 38 reads: 


“If at least fifteen members 
of Convocation, by writing und- 
er their hands setting out the 
object thereof, require the 
Chancellor to convene a special 
meeting of Convocation, the 
Chancellor shall call the special 
meeting without unnecessary 
delay.” 


The University Act defines Con- 
vocation members as all University 
of Alberta graduates, including per- 
sons holding honorary degrees from 
this institution. 


Certainly the University Act re- 
visions affect the ‘’well-being of the 
University,’’ and in view of the ap- 
parent disinterest shown by mem- 
bers of our. academic community 
about the revisions, such a gather- 
ing might provide an excellent op- 
portunity for complaints to be regis- 
tered and acted upon. We are 
aware of the existence of a revi- 
sions committee, but a “‘special’’ 
Convocation would be at least a 
symbolic way of showing the Act re- 
visions have been considered in an 
orderly, democratic way within the 
university community. 


Such a meeting would help the 


rovince’s legislators to determine. 
p g 


whether the new act is a carefully- 
prepared popular piece of legisla- 
tion. It could dispel some of the dis- 
turbing points which have been rais- 
ed on our own campus during the 
last two weeks regarding the legis- 
lation. 


And finally, if the new act is pass- 
ed in much the same form as it now 
exists after the special Convocation, 
we will have seen the end of special 
Convocations for all time. For the 
governors’ report recommends that 
special Convocations be discontinu- 
ed except as ‘degree-conferring 
ceremonies” in future. Who, might 
we ask, will look after the ‘’well-be- 
ing of the University’’ when gradu- 
ates are prevented from raising is- 
sues in ‘‘special’’ Convocations?

requiescat in pace 


a way of life 


by doug walker 


A friend of mine made a very in- ° 


teresting comment the other day 
about the care and feeding, so to 
speak, of a _ university career. 
(Thanks, J.B.) 


A university, he said, is not mere- 
ly an educational institution, it is a 
way of life. If you live the life, you 
pass; if you don’t, you fail. | think 
| would amend this to say that if you 
live the life, you will, with few ex- 
ceptions, do well. 
the benefits as well as contributing 


~ to the expansion and the improve- 


ment of the school—if you go about 
it the right way. 


And | would like to think the right 
way, at the undergraduate level at 
least, is simply to regard the univer- 
sity career as a responsible job. Very 
few people of my acquaintance 
could not improve their perform- 
ances considerably just by putting in 
their forty hours a week at their 
classroom-office. At least some of 
the material is bound to sink in 
sooner or later. 


The parallel can be continued 
even further. There are some very 
busy periods in our educational com- 
pany—er, institution. Inventory 
taking time, for instance. And what 
about those campaigns to get the 
new products—sorry, | meant ideas 
—on to the market. Comparable 
personalities keep showing up all 
the time also. There is the remote 
Board of Directors which say that a 
mere worker isn’t really qualified to 
assist in running a corporation as 
complex as this one. There are the 
salesmen, the accountants, and be- 
low all, the sometimes eager, often 
skeptical customers: the students. 


Perhaps the most appropriate slogan 


You will reap all. 


here is ‘’The customer is always 
wrong.’ 


If this account appears somewhat 
mechanical and cynical, | suppose 
the only excuse | can offer is that it 
is the end result of the educational 
system that produced it. 


The unfortunate situation has oc- 
cured that the universities across 
the continent have ‘not been able to 
keep pace with the problems caused 
by the student population explosion. 
The most obvious example of this is 
the lack of space and staff that 
forces one thousand students into 
the jungle of Psychology 202. Who 
is to blame for this? | don’t think 
there really is a blame as such, but 
the academics suffer just the same. 


Hand in hand with this surplus of 
students go the methods developed 
to deal with it. The production lines, 
the impersonal computer program- 
ming manage to produce in too 
many students a feeling of isolation 
from the knowledge they are seek- 
ing. 

Along with this depersonalization 
goes an equally serious problem. At 
the undergraduate level, the lonely 
student is pressured to specialize, 
to prepare for a career or for gradu- 
ate school. e even have the pre- 
med, pre-dent, pre-law programs 
that enable us to specialize before 
our specialty. But once he is in 
graduate school, the student is told 
that since he is now a specialist, he 
must concentrate in this one field. 
Somewhere along the line, he missed 
perhaps the most valuable contribu- 
tion of all, a well-balanced, general 
education. 


Where all this leads us, | won't 
attempt to answer. Perhaps the ulti- 
mate cynic would look foreward to 
the day when cybernetics will be 
able to- replace us all, students and 
staff alike.

does social class determine 


who gets the scholarships? 


by james c. hackler 
department of sociology 


One occasionally hears the com- 
ment that an increase in tuition fees 


strata as long as scholarships were 
increased at the same time. 


The naive belief persists that poor 
but talented young people receive 
most of the scholarships. In actuality 
the children of middle class parents 
tend to receive them. They are 
better risks than young people at 
the slums for example. eir 
academic background is superior 
partially because their parents have 
helped them to learn the rules in the 
grade-getting-game. se who 


give scholarships like to see a high ' 


success rate. The fact that a some- 
what marginal student from an 
oe eee deprived background 
need a scholarship much more 
desperately is of secondary import- 
nce 


In the United States the National 
Merit Scholarship program was 
initiated to provide educational 
opportunities for able youth from 
the lower socioeconomic strata of 
the society. Because of the ad- 
vantage middle class children have 
in the grade-getting-game, the 
gram based awards on competitive 
examinations and financial need. 


The results, however, showed that 
a child whose father was a physician 
had 26 times as much chance of 
receiving a scholarship as a child 
whose father was a machinist and 
71 times as much chance as a child 
whose father was a truck driver. 


When the children of college pro- 
fessors are compared with those of 
laborers the odds are 1,000 to 1 in 
favor of the children of professors. 


Does ‘‘natural ‘intelligence’ ex- 
plain these ratios? A better explan- 
ation seems to be that children in 
middle class homes .develop greater 
facility in manipulating verba 
mathematical symbols. 


The National Merit Scholarships 
attempted to overcome the inequities 
of environmental background; most 
scholarship programs only go 
through the motions. Aggressive 
middle class parents badger both 
child and teacher to get higher 
ee Children learn that poise, 

ers, and appearance help in 
the Ee chin game. i 
teacher becomes a highly developed 
skill. 


Getting a scholarship proves to 
the neighorhood that Junior is up- 
wardly mobile and tha m and 
Dad have been virtuous parents. 
The college scholarship is a status 
symbol no less important than the 
new car or colored TV. 


The question of “need” is still 
televant in awarding scholarships 
but other factors intervene. Besides 
middle class parents (particularly 
professors) are very adept at show- 
ing financial need for their ehiies

$12,000 a year which claimed they 
could not afford to send their only

are middle class parents going to 
touch any of the cash they have 
stored away earning 6 per cent when 
loans are available? Some lower 
class families may scrimp and save 
for years but be hesistant to go into 


- debt in order to get a son through 


college. 


Those in the middle class 


sbslership applications are a 
snap. The point is obvious— 
those a higher socioeconomic 
status more skillful in 
wellistng: the scholarship and 
loan system. 


It is not only difficult for poor 
people to get into college, it is in- 
creasingly difficult to meet the liv- 
ing standards of the college com- 
munity. 


When the critic looks at modern 


in assuming that college students 
Their parents usually can 
afford it. And, to judge by com- 
plaints about dormitory food on some 
campuses, college students have 
sophisticated palates. 

accustomed to more than 
balanced diet. Modern universities 


do not provide minimal shelter and. 


food for poor students. They cater 
to the demands of their clientele and 
that clientele is by and large middle 
class. 


As a result the lower class stu- 
dent in financial 


after World War I! and provided a 
bunk for a few dollars a month have 
disappeared. The ‘’mess halls’’ no 


longer exist that dispense inex- 
pensive meals, lacking perhaps in 
delicacy but sufficient. to allay 


hunger pangs. 

Today’s wealthly campuses not 
only make it more difficult for he 
genuinely poor to get by, but make 
it socially humiliating as well. 

The above viewpoint would natur- 
ally be unacceptable to those who 
believe the Horatio Alger Myth—the 
“pull yourself up by your boot- 
straps’ orientation. This view 
claims that success can be had by 


all if only the individual is virtuous 
and industrious. According to this 
line of reasoning talented individuals 
will enter school and join the ranks 
of middle class society by a process 
of self selection. We do not have 
to create opoprtunity because it is 
already there. (Most of us realize 
that it helps to be White, Anglo- 
Saxon, and Protestant.) 


The Horatio Alger Myth should 
not be dismissed lightly, however. 
It provides guidelines for middle 
class families. Like many myths it 
is useful in holding up ideals to 
major portions of the society. At 
a later period we learn that there 
may be superior techniques for get- 
ting one’s fist in the economic pot 
such as cheating on income tax, 
political favoritism, marrying the 
boss’s daughter, fleecing customers, 
or getting a Ph.D. 


But the Horatio Alger myth does 


-not fit so well when applied to the 


Indian boy born on a reservation 
along with six illegitimate brothers 
and sisters. Ine does not have to 
be a sociologist to realize that there 
are societal and cultural.barriers to 
success and that these hurdles are 
products of the society rather than 
characteristics of the individuals. 
If we genuinely wish more people to 
share in our high standard of living 
some of these barriers have to be 
lowered a little.

By MARCIA REED 


In Scotland the students do not pay 
for their university training. The 
costs are paid by the county by 
means of a sliding scale based on 
parental income. g 
- The maximum amount to be award- 
ed is 345 pounds, which is enough for 
any student to live comfortably 
on for the term. 
The full implications of this are 
shown when the students use their 
three months of summer holidays 
to earn pocket money in a factory, 
or to travel through Europe, 
usually by means of the pieds- 
fatigues-Youth Hostel system: 
Many of the facilities found here at 
the U of A are non-existent. 
They do not have-courses such as 
household economics, nursing, ed- 
ucation and physical education. 
Just think—a campus without pots 
d pans, sewing machines and 
children’s readers, but not, most 
definitely, without the football 
hero. 


It is a privilege to make the rugby 
team, especially in light of the place 
where training is done—the local 
pub. (This fact was given to me 
by two very serious young girls.) 
There are three terms of ten weeks 
each during the school year. The 
student takes three subjects, and 
his choice has to be approved by 
the university. 
The fact that the student takes fewer 
courses a year than we do does not, 
of course, mean there is less work 
ees *-to-do.

There is a growing awareness within 

the student body of the bomb. More 
marches are being held, as are

now not a crime, in the eyes of 
many of the students to hold a dis- 
senting idealogical opinion.

Any student who fails a year is not 
allowed to return. 


Surprisingly, I was told, during the 

vacation months—February through 

ay—the majority of students do 

not work, only “study”, relax on 
the beaches, and play Mah Jong. 


Many of the students have been jail- 

ed, in various parts of Malaysia, for 
their party affiliations. Several 
laws have been set up to prevent 
the students from becoming sub- 
versive agents. 

An example of this is the Internal 

Security Act which forbids more 
than five students at a time to 
travel to Malaysia from Singa- 
pore. One group of eight stu- 


aimpus: 


dents, travelling in order to play 
in an athletic competition, was de- 
tained. 


There are very few fraternities in 

Malaysia, but there are many other 
clubs such as are found on this 
campus. One of the best examples 
given was the “Bachelor’s Soc- 
iety”, which penalized members 
found exclusively in the company 
of a young female, and expelled 
those who were engaged. (I guess 
this club has a strong member- 
ship for I was also told that the 
number of married couples was 
few.) 


As a guide to the young men, a 

category of women was drawn up; 
first -year—shy, second year— 
proud, third year—anxious, and 
fourth year—frustrated. Number 
fours are to be treated with ex- 
treme caution as they are highly 
flammable. 


Jerusalem students are motivated 
not only by personal reasons but by 
the ideas that their studies will 


further help their new nation. 


The students are highly involved in 
political events in their country. 


At one time, the students’ union was 

elected on the basis of their political 
leanings, until the med students 
threatened to leave the university. 
Now the students’ union is run by 
an independent bloc. 


All students have two majors, and 

in the term devote 24 hours to each 
major, and 12 hours to general 
studies such as art, literature and 
music. 


; 


Sixty credits have to be obtained for 


a degree. The credit value of each 
course varies from one to four. 
Textbooks are not particularly used. 
The student has to refer to the ori- 
ginal publishing of reports and do 

library research. 


. Tuition fees are very low, and the 


cost of sending a student to univer- 
sity is borne either by parents or 
the government. The majority of 
students in the Israel University 
are older; having to serve 
months in a compulsory military 
training camp if they are males 
and 18-24 months if they are 
females. ; 

The majority of the West Indian stu- 

dents are sponsored by the govern- 
ment, by various oil firms such as 
Texaco and Shell and by sugar 
and mining companies. 

Most of the company scholarships 

require the student to work or do 
research for the company. 

In an area where there are so many 

island countries so close together, 
the students accordingly are very 
interested in politics. 

The university staff comes mainly 

from other countries, or are people 
who have been trained outside the 
Indies. This follows the British 
tradition of sending children 
away for their learning. 

The students write one set of exams 

at the end of their third year, but 
each student has the choice of 
whether or not be will write them.

There are a minimum of lectures, 
but attendance is compulsory. 


In East Africa no tuition fees are re- 
quired for university training. 


Competition for university entrance, 

however, is very keen as there are 
usually 3,000 applicants with only 
300 people qualifying. 

As in the West Indies, nearly all in- 

structors have been trained in 
Britain or’a Commonwealth 
country and only around 40 per 
cent are natives. 


The student has the choice of three 

patterns—honors, where he has one 
subject; general honors, where he 
takes two; and general where the 
student is enrolled in three sub- 
jects. The greatest amount of 
prestige is attached to the honors 
degree. 

Upon completion of a bachelor’s de- 

gree, the student is qualified to teach 
on a university level. 

The system under which Germany 

trains its university people is radic- 
ally different from ours. 

A degree is not granted after so 

many years work when the necessary 
courses are completed, but rather 
when the student has taken the 
courses he thinks are required, 
and asks to sit for an examination. 

The examination that he does take is 

oral; there are no written exams. 

The student usually has to finance 
his own tuition (around $110) but 
if he is recommended by his pro- 
fessor, he is eligible for a scholar- 
ship. 


Although lectures are formal with 
the students applauding by rapping 
on the table at the beginning and 
end of the lecture, the students 
can criticize the lecture by hissing. 
Some of the labs have beer in them 
or if not, the instructor usually takes 
the students for a round every 


Y, 


three months or so. 


Since the universities are usually 

located in old towns, the buildings 
are scattered through the town. 
There is no formal location for the 
university. 


Students must find there own trans- 
portation for commuting between 
classes. 


In the above I have given some of 
the varying concepts adopted in 
other universities in regards to 
their academic and social values. 


Unfortunately space does not allow 
a complete list to be drawn. 


Probably some of the ideas listed 

here, and many others not given 
mention could be incorporated by 
our university and some of the ex- 
periences gleaned from experi- 
ments conducted elsewhere would 
help to guide the administration of 
this university. ; 

In Japan, for example, mixed visiting 

is allo in the dormitories 
throughout the day. What were 
the results on the morality of the 
students? 


If this university were to give exami- 

nations in the last year of a degree 
would the students tend to let 
their work lapse in the preceding 
years? 


Would specialization in the under- 

graduate years such as found in East 
Africa, prevent the student from 
receiving a broad education? 


We of Canada, who have never been _ 


to another university, are not able to 
answer such questions as well as 
an experienced foreign student 
could 

We certainly need their experiences, 

ideas and especially insights, but 
where are our foreign students? 

You see them in the classrooms and 

labs, and in the library. Where else?

THE GATEWAY, Wednesday, January 26, 1966 i 


This was a question I began to ask 
myself after looking through the 


in the pictures of the’ executives 
or committees of various organ- 
izations and in particular in the 
pictures of staff on the study body 
and publications. 


Nor are foreign students, beyond the 
Europeans who have cultural back- 
grounds similar to ours, noticeable 
at concerts or drama productions. 


There: were many reasons for this 
absence of foreign faces that were 
given to me. 


Time and its application to studies 

was one of the main reasons cited 
for a non-participant role on cam- 
pus. Yet the Canadian student 
seems to cope with this problem 
as evidenced by the fact that we 
do have members on our councils 
and printing our publications. 


Many students feel that since they 

are here on scholarships to learn and 
return, they ought to devote their 
full attention to their work. 


Yet, these students will be leaders in 

their respective countries in years to 
come and should have as broad a 
knowledge of other countries as 
possible. 


I have also talked to several mem- 


bers of various political organiz- 
ations on campus and have asked 
them whether they know of any of 
the foreign students who have 
showed an interest or: concern 
regarding the political framework 
of Canada and its effectiveness. 
The answer was very disappointing. 
Those students who are here spon- 
sored by a Colombo plan scholarship 
have to sign an agreement promis- 
ing not to become involved or 
participate in any political activity 
for the duration of their stay here.

Yet, should inquiry directed towards 

the furthering of understanding be 
eliminated? 

I was told that many students come 

from a political background com- 
pletely different and that it takes 
time to comprehend what is “go- 
ing on”, but does this not indicate 
that inquires should be made? 

The foreign student has contact with 

people, but seemingly with people 
with the same cultural back- 
ground that he has. 

We have a number of houses around 

campus. housing students coming 
from the same general part of the 
world, Malaysia, the West Indies, 
Pakistan, Africa and India. 

Such establishments fulfill a need 

for companionship and understand- 
ing of problems but have a ten- 
dency to isolate the student from 
Canadian students. 

For many of these students whose 

English is poor, there is no longer a 
need to struggle with it, for at 
home you can lapse into your 
native tongue. 

Talk, rather than becoming stimulat- 

ing, has a tendency to become re- 
miniscing. 

In the summertime the majority of 

these students work and do not get 
an opportunity to tour the rest of 
the country, thus they go home 
knowing, perhaps, Edmonton, but 
not much of Canada. 

I have mentioned earlier that we see 

very few foreign students attending 
our concerts and drama produc- 


tions. 
' Some of this apathy could be ex- 


plained by personal taste, yet in 
many cases, our forms of drama 
and music are radically different 
than those the students are fami- 
liar with. Unless a person has 
some ideas of the culture of a 
nation, his understanding of the 
people is very limited. 

We Canadians, though, are just as 

guilty of not being too iaterested in 
the cultural forms of these people 
visiting us. : 

Bes we have Treasure Van but what 

else. 

We occasionally see a display of 

costumes or native dances but this 
too is limited. 

There are several clubs on campus 

which could provide the student with 
the social contacts from his home 
country to offset loneliness e.g. 
the Malaysian Students Associ- 
ation and the Indian Students As- 
sociation. 

It has also been brought up that 

many of the foreign students think 
that all positions on committees 
and councils are obtained by 
elections only. Perhaps a note in 
the Students Handbook would 
correct this situation. 

Few of the students have ever been 

asked to sit on panels or discussions 
dealing with their home countries, 
but they would be only too happy 
to do so. 

If we can come to a greater under- 

standing of each other through closer 
contact, we cannot but receive a 
broader education, one of the very 
basic aims in attending university.

film differs in that the cumber- 
some symbolism of “The Seventh

sual scenes of “Through a Glass 
Darkly” are absent. 
The film is frankly contem- 
Piative. The result is a purity o: 
tone which more than makes up 
for the lack of action that film- 
makers seem traditionally to have 
thought necessary to maintaining 
screen interest. Emphasizing this 
simplicity is the austere setting of 
winter fields and empty cathed-

Pandas led from the start in the 
Bisonette game and led 32-17 at 
the half. The Bisonettes were an 
aggressive team but couldn’t hit 
the basket well. 

The Pandas played well and were 
able to set up many successful 
scoring plays. Top scoring honors 
went to Donna Bryks who scored 
14 points. Teammates Sandi 
Snowden and Cathy Galusha fol- 
lowed closely with 13 and 12 points 
each, 

The Huskiette game was a tight 
one with both teams shooting and 
missing a lot. Although the Pan- 
das trailed all the way, the score 


was close thoughout the game. 
Huskiettes led 28-20 at the half 


_and maintained at least an eight 


point margin for the rest of the 
game, 

The Aces were a far better team 
than the Pandas. From the onset 
of the game the Pandas could not 
set up plays. Pandas got an equal 
number of shots away as the Aces 
but didn’t connect. The score at 
the half was 31-20 for the Aces. 

The last half was fatal for the 
Pandas who managed only 11 
points to the Aces 38.

guests of the Chinese government. 

“Thirty years ago we would have 
never dreamed of sleeping without

he said. “Today this is not neces-

Bears’ American tour disastrous

on second pla e United 
States leagues they pond be lucky 
to get a place in the cellar. 


During the Christmas holidays 
the Bears dropped seven straight to 
six of the better small college teams 
from the mid-western states. The 
story of the Bear losses could be 
titled “An Education in Basketball”. 


The American enthusiasm for 
basketball is as strong, or stronger, 
than the Canadian love for hockey. 
Driving along a typical highway in 
Indiana, one notices a hoop and 
backboard nailed on every barn or 
garage with at least one small-fry 
practicing jump-shots. 

From the time they take their 
first steps these kids are brain- 
washed in the language of basket- 
ball—dunk, fast-break, hook, zone 
press, dribble, split-vision, rebound. 

By time they reach college 


level they no longer think about 
what moves to make in a game bu 
react instinctively as each new sit- 
uation arises. 


The Bear coaches hoped compe- 
tition with these boys would im- 
prove the club. 

It is certain the Bears got a sound 
lesson in rebounding and _ fast- 
breaking-phases of the game which 
the American teams have develop- 
ed far beyond any in Canada. 

Even though the Americans had 
greater shooting. accuracy than the 

ears, the real imbalance came 
when the Americans grabbed near- 
ly every rebound and preceded to 
run the University of Alberta team 
right off the floor.

Playing a rie down or control- 
offence style the Bears repeatedly 
had to settle for a more difficult 
long shot or a shorter one with a 
defensive man ready to block it. 


The hard-won experience and the 
addition of a few more players 
should improve the Bears in 
second half of the season. 


With Garth Hillman healthy 
again and George Monkman. back 
in the line-up, the team won’t have 
to depend so much on Ed Blott for 
rebounding strength. Ed practical-

Bearcats down NAIT, 


winning streak at 12 


By DAVE WRIGHT 


Outstanding jump-shooting by 
Jerry Kozub lead the Bearcat bas- 
ketball team to two wins last week- 
end. 


The ras ee ee: aevt alive 
a 12-game -winni eak by 
dumping the NAIT | Sokuks 68- 63 
Friday and 56-55 Saturday. 

From the tip-off Bearcat guard 
Ben Urner gave the team a mom- 
entary lead Friday, when he stole 
the ball from NAIT’s Dekerk and 
scored a lay-up. 

NAIT’s Al Shaw hit for a 20 foot- 
er to even the score and moments 
later counted a free throw to give 
the tech school an early lea 

When the Ookpiks mounted an 
early 7-2 lead, the Bearcats turned 


to a full-court man-to-man press. © 


NAIT had a chance to make it 9-2 
but Bannister missed a lay-up and 
Urner hooped a 15-footer for the 
cats. 


The university team’s press start- 
ed ie take its toll from the Ookpiks. 
Art Dyke drove for a two pointer 
and Dries put the ’cats into an 8-7 
lead with another 18-foot jumper.

John Hasselfield’s 20-foot set- 
shot made it 10-7. And when Urn- 
er popped another jump-shot and 
Bill Scribe found the range with a 

ook and a jumper it looked like 
another Bear rout in the offing. 


The ’cats ran the score to 20-12 
before the Ookpiks started to eat 
away at the lead. 

With Bearcats leading 22-21 
NAIT’S Dekerk drove in a lay-up 
and seconds later Tymchuk hit a 
20-footer to propel the Ookpiks to a 


' 25-22 lea 


The Been retaliated with a 
free throw and a short jumper to 
knot the score at 25 all. 


Hasselfield sank a 22-foot set- 
shot but Dekerk came right back 
with two more for NAIT. With 
three-and-a-half minutes left in 
the half, Hasselfield hit another 
as -footer as the teams traded bas- 
ets. 


Coach Alex Carre sent in fresh 
Bearcat substitutes and the move 
paid off as Rod Soholt, Mel Read, 
and Wilf Kozub all scored to put 
the ’cats on the top end of a 36-31 
half-time score. 

The university team maintained 
a slim lead through most of the sec- 

ond half, relying heavily on Koz- 
abs jump-shot from the left corn- 
er. With 10 minutes to go Kozub 
(Jerry this time) sank the first of 
three consecutive 25-footers to 
push the ’cats to a 56-55 lead. 

Hasselfield hit a set-shot to make 
it’ 58 K it - another 
two long jumpers and with the 
pad 64-59 the ’cats went into a 
stall. 


NAIT’s Dekerk and Shaw hit 
back-to-back baskets but Urner’s 
lay-up with 26 seconds left killed 
any hope of an Ookpik triumph. 
_Kozub’s 14 second-half points gave 
him a total of 16 for the night. He 
was followed by Hasselfield with 
14 and Urner with 12. 

The Ookpiks’ Dekerk was high 
man for the game with 23. 

Saturday’s game saw the Bear- 
cats fall behind in the early stages 
as the fired-up NAIT squad at- 
tempted to redeem the Friday en- 
counter 

Shooting at a very poor 17 per 

cent, the out-hustled ’cats found 
themselves down 15 points at half 

NAIT, once again lead by 
Dekeork, held the top end of a 35-20 
score. 

But coach Carre sent his troops 
out in a full-court press and the 
tech ‘sshool’s lead began to shrink. 

The university marksmen began to 
hit, and with Kozub finding the 
range for the second night i in a row 
it looked as though the ’cats might 
pull the game out of the fire. 

With three minutes to go the ’cats 
were down 55-54 and NAIT was on 

e run. Rookie guard Ben Urner 
had the ball near the top of the key 
and he dribbled to the right side of 
the basket and threw in a short 
jump-shot from the endline. 

Holding a 56-55 lead the Bears 
took no chances and went into a 
stall with two-and-a-half minutes 
remaining. Even so they had to be 
thankful that N AIT missed two free 
throws in the last 60 seconds.

DATELINE 


Ukrainians attacked at U of T 


TORONTO—A U of T professor has attacked the isolationism 
and conservatism of Ukrainians living in 

Professor G. Luckyj of the Slavic Studies department, spoke 
to the Ukrainian Students’ Club, criticizing the reluctance of 
Ukrainians to adapt to their new surroundings without losing 
their identity. 

He cited the monument to Schevchenko, the Ukrainian 
national poet, as an example of the Ukrainian effort to preserve 
intact their way of life within Canadian society. 

He urged greater initiative and individuality among young 
Ukrainians in an effort to maintain their culture and language 
as a vibrant force, not merely as a sentimental relic of the past. 

Prof. Luckyj Peas cultural exchanges between Canada 
and the Ukraine to enrich Canadians’ diverse culture. 

He criticized the opposition to these exchanges for having an 
unreasonable fear of contamination by Communism. 


Ban on holidays advocated 


TORONTO—A US. saucer consultant has advocated the 
abolition of summer holiday: 

Hamden L. Pocknee former head of business and 
vocational education at Columbia University, told the Ontario 
Secondary School Teachers’ Federation schools should operate 

2 months a year with students attending four semesters with a 
week's holiday -between each. 
The idea of summer vacation Sees when didven’ were 
needed to work in the fields, he sa 
“Changes must take place in Ssuestoe or we will fail to 
achieve our place in the economy of the world,’ Dr. Forkner 
said. 


Student reaction to his suggestion ranged from cries of 
“ridiculous” to acceptance with certain concessions. 
Most students, however, felt a 12-month school year would 
interfere too much with family vacation plans and summer jobs. 
Dr. Forkner also said no subject should be taught unless. it 
contributed to social, economic and political advancement. 

‘A subject cannot be justified because it is “traditional” 
or “academic rather than vocational”. Failure in the vocational 
subjects would cause a far greater catastrophe than “forgetting 
history, literature or foreign languages,” he said. 


Playboy banned at U of M 


WINNIPEG—Playboy, the bible of red-blooded North Ameri- 
can males, has been banned on the University of Manitoba 
campus 

Dr. Hugh H. Saunderson, university president, says the 
popular magazine is “not an academic magazine”, and for this 
reason asked that it not be sold at the university bookstore. 

This is the first year magazines have been sold at the book- 
store. Students’ union officials submitted a list of magazines 
they thought suitable to the book department committee. 

Prof. Doris Saunders, chairman of the committee, said, 
“Playboy was the only one the president asked be not included.” 

While Dr. Saunderson says Playboy is not an academic 
magazine, the most recent issue contains articles by such 
prominent authors as P. G. Wodehouse, Alexander Pushkin, 
Vladimir Nabokov, Robert Ruark, John Le Carre and Jules 
Feiffer. 


However, Ladies Home Journal and Chatelaine are still 
available at the bookstore. 


250 volunteers needed by CYC 


OTTAWA—The Company of Young Canadians plans to en- 
gage 250 volunteers to carry out a pilot project beginning this 
summer before the CYC ‘is actually established by Parliament. 

William McWhinney, recently appointed interim director of 
the company, told a press conference Jan. 13 that the form of 

is summer’s projects has not yet been established. 

The company plans to undertake community development 
work in rural and urban areas upon request of the community 
involved, he said. 

Mr. McWhinney, national director of the Canadian University 

Service Overseas for r years, said the company plans to 
work closely with CUSO. 

He does not, however, regard his appointment to the CYC 
as the first step in the absorption of CUSO by the company, 
he sai 

At brseenk the CYC plans projects-only eae Canada, while 
CUSO confines its activities to overseas work 

Asked if the company hopes to enter the field in Quebec 
where there has been much opposition from youth and student 
groups, and where a provincial peace corps, Les Travailleurs 
Etudiants du Québec already exists, Mr. McWhinney said the 

YC hopes to benefit from TEQ’s experience and to work out 
a relationship with it.

Socred leader sends out feelers 
for tie with campus. Conservatives 


By LORRAINE ALLISON 


The U of A Social Credit party 
has extended unofficial feelers re- 
garding a merger with the Pro- 
gressive Conservatives for the Feb. 
11 model parliament elections, 


Bill Winship, leader of the PCs, 
said that he was informally ap- 
proached by Dale Enarson, Social 
Credit leader. Winship said he 
thought the move was made be- 
cause Social Credit is the weakest 
party on campus. . 

‘Winship disagreed with the 
president of the Alberta Social 
Credit League who said, 


to advocate the policies of the 
particular parties.’ 

Orvis Kennedy had made the re- 
mark in response to the recent 
merger of the Socreds and PCs at 
UAC. 


“The real purpose of cam 
political parties is not to reflect 
the inadequacies of the parent, 
but to stimulate political interest 
among students, and try a fresh 
approach to political activity,” 
Winship said 

“The reason for campus apathy 
can be directly attributed to the 
fact that the political parties have 
tried to be mirror images. 2 

“Students are generally fed up 
with the old line parties and are 
looking for some original ideas, for 
a flexible rather than a rigid 
approach to political matters.” 


ELECTION FEB. 11 
This year’s model parliament 


election will be held Feb. 11, and 
parliament will sit Feb. 16- 18 in 
Con Hall. 


The National Existentialist Stu- 
dent Party, SUPA, an indepen- 
dent group, and the Communist 
Party have expressed interest in 
participating in the annual model 
parliament along with the tradi- 
tional four parties, according to 
Owen Anderson, Inter-party com- 
mittee chairman. 


The model parliament is spon- 
sored by the Political Science Club. 

“With the model UN assembly 
coming before model parliament, 
there will be an attempt to dis- 
tribute issues. Primarily inter- 
national issues will be discussed 
by the UN assembly with model 
parliament concentrating on 
national and pee provincial 
issues,” said Anders: 


All members of ah students’ 


casting his ballot for a party 
rather than an individual. The 

seats are then distributed 
proportionally among the parties. 


The Governor-General will be 
J. Walker—Brash, British Trade 
Commissioner. 


A recognized expert on 
Canadian politics, Dr. W. F. Daw 
son, associate gree? of political 
science at U of A, will be Speaker 
of the House. 

Dr. Dawson said last year’s was 
the best model parliament he has 
seen on our campus. However, 
student stg aesotmns is very low. 


. 


Students are encouraged to attend 


the sessions. 

Any groups other than the four 
major parties that wish to partici-
